Short Film: 'In The Pines' by Shep Films

Simultaneously an exploration of nature and psyche, "In The Pines" is a short film documenting a young woman's hunt for extraterrestrial meaning. Following a mysteriously purposeful hike through the Olympic Mountains, this film roots itself in the Pacific Northwest. It delves deep into the texture of the scene by carefully playing with macro photography, resulting in the synchronized examination of character and setting. Part science fiction, part psycho-thriller, part poetry–all elements fuse together to create a memorable scene viewers will be eager to revisit.

Written & Directed by: Zeek Earl & Chris Caldwell
Starring: Jessica Martin & Julianne Christie
Original Score by: Daniel L.K. Caldwell
